JP Nadda holds talks with CJP leaders as protest intensifies

A two-member delegation of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) on Monday met Union Health Minister JP Nadda, who initiated talks on behalf of the government after protesters led by the outfit stormed into central Delhi and tried to march towards Parliament.

The CJP said Nadda had assured them that he would hold internal discussions and requested some time to consult the government leadership on the party’s demands, including the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged examination irregularities.

Official sources confirmed that the CJP representatives met Nadda, who initiated the government’s outreach to the



protesters. They said discussions within the government on the CJP protest were underway and there was a possibility of the government issuing a formal statement.

CJP chief spokesperson Saurav Das said he, along with the party’s national spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka, met the Health Minister at his residence for about 10 minutes.

“After waiting for more than 2 hours, @AshutoshRanka and I just met J P Nadda ji at his residence for 10 minutes. While we submitted a written letter with our demands, he has assured us that he will meanwhile speak internally. We are in that process. There is news of mass detention etc,” Das said in a post on ‘X’.
